About

I’m a software engineer with 6+ years of experience building high-performance C++ systems and multi-threaded architectures for AAA games and VR platforms. I thrive on turning challenging technical problems into elegant, cross-functional solutions that ship.

I’ve led cross-functional teams, optimized real-time pipelines, and mentored junior engineers, with a strong focus on reliability and performance in production-grade environments.

I have also done various prototyping and development from pre-post in game engines such as UE5, Godot, and Unity.
